Flat for another $25 or ship it?

1/3, hero on the $6 straddle w 10/10. 7 handed, 400 eff.

The table is quiet when I sat down and no matter what I did to try to start conversations it was falling flat. No idea why these guys were so serious at 1/3 but there only seemed to be one guy I didn’t want to tangle with. People were calling pretty much everything on every street if they had a piece of the board or a draw and would fold immediately if they didn’t.

An hour and a half into the session, a player sits down in MP and immediately puts $10 in front of him. He was two-three seats away from the action but then it folded to him anyway. The entire time he’s staring at me and then mentions how I’m eyeballing his stack.

To be fair I was because I was trying to figure out how much he had and thought it would look nice added to my stack. He was clearly a LAG and a fishy one at that. Action then folds to the BB who raises to $15. He’s been raising a lot and I hadn’t seen him turn over a premium yet. BB has about $400. I raise to $75.

Our LAGgy friend made some comment I didn’t hear and aggressively puts his stack in the middle. Tilted I guess? No idea, he just sat down. Maybe his wife’s boyfriend took away his allowance. The action gets right back to the BB who thinks for all of a second and a half and makes the call for another $85; as if he was putting in another $15.

So, it’s back to hero on the button. You can flat and see a flop or just get it all in now. Are you ripping it for another $300 feeling like they have each others’ outs or that you’re a mile ahead? You know you’re ahead of the fish but CO at least has overs.

Sorry post is really confusing

I think you should split it between reads and actions

Ie. V1 is a fish, V2 is maniac
Effective 300
V1 opens 15 V2 jams for 300 Hero w/TT fold or jam


Hero $6 straddle. 10/10. $400 effective. MP $100. BB $400.

Fish in MP puts out $10 before it’s even his action. BB who has been super loose puts out $15. Hero raises to $75. MP goes AI for $100. BB flats.

AI for another $325 or call the $25?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can shove in this spot because it's not allowed.
In order to reraise again, Mp shove has to be like 60 on top of your 75, because 75 is 60 more than 15.


Lol. You’re actually right. Spoiler alert.
